2004 CROSSFIRE

Rather than debating the Mitchell and Chilton manuals, what does the factory manual say?

Hi!

My bet is that the Mitchell manual is the more correct of the two...but if you really want to know how it's done, hit eBay or something and find the Chrysler factory service manual.

You'll find out everything you wanted to know and possibly then some.

I'll add my less than certain possibility: Pay about $27 for an alldata

A bonus that you would get, whether or not the procedure you need is in the info., is complete schematics (again, right out of the FSM) *and* all TSB's applicable to the vehicle. Might be worth the gamble on the bearing procedures just to get those two things.

HI and thanks very good info there but my problem now seams to be I have and odd duck . alldatadiy match's Mitchell but not my car . go figure

I've noticed some parts prices which aren't real accurate in there, but the time guides are close.....if the user has the relevant skill levels

That is a little strange. I guess Chrysler, or Daimler's in this case, info. is inaccurate.

As a DIY'er, I don't look at the time estimates, and I get exact prices, either aftermarket or discounted OEM are available on line, either ahead of time or as I order them. But I could see where a business would like to have that info. for quoting a job.

yeah from time to time i have to advise some shops that warranty wont pay labor twice for taking out something that you had to do anyway to access another part.......like charging labor for oil pan reseal labor when they took the pan off anyway to get at a bad oil pump..etc

I have fond out that this car was in the first shipment to the states in 2003 and may have a different configuration only a dealer may have the info on this car. Does this sound possible to any of you? I have seen the factory manual and this car does not match it as far as the axle configuration.
